Description
Beckhoff EL3632 EtherCAT IEPE Vibration Input Terminal
The Beckhoff EL3632 acquires vibration signals from IEPE accelerometers through EtherCAT. Its two measurement channels can support condition monitoring and test instrumentation for suitably engineered rotating machinery installations.
